The best Mexican meal prep! This salad recipe is full of fresh (and hot!) ingredients like jalapenos, chili powder, cumin, cilantro and more. Stuff this spicy chicken salad in tortillas, put it on a sandwich, or enjoy it with crackers or tortilla chips.
Combine water, broth, peppercorns, garlic, celery, carrot, jalapeno, and onion in a large pot over medium heat. Place chicken into pot with other ingredients, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 8-10 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken and shred chicken using 2 forks; set aside. Discard liquid or save for later use as chicken broth (freezes well).
In a large bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and cilantro. Add shredded chicken and mix to coat chicken in spice mix.
Add cream cheese chunks into mixtures, and cut into the chicken until fully mixed. Stir in tomatoes.
Top with optional cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, hot sauce, or avocado.
